THE FOURTH AT BEAVER, NEUTRAL
STRIP

To The Editor of The Eagle.
The advertisement that Senator Plumb
of Kansas, would be present to deliver an
address. drew crowd to Beaver on the
Fourth.
The citizens at this place were very en-
thusiastic and with help from the country,
provided an excellent free dinner The
patriotic fervor of the people could not be
restrained till the fourth, out flags were un-
folded on the Sd. Independence day was
ushered in by the firing of musketry and
cannon at dawn. Quite number of flags
tloate9 to the breeze all day from business
houses and private residences Business
was suspended and The people gave them
selves up wholly to an enthusiastic enjoy
ment of the day We celebrate. In the ab-
sence of the senator, Rev. z. y Overstreet
who readily adapted himself to circum-
stances was adequate to the occasion and
delivered short enthusiastic address, full Of
patriotism, wise council, and good cheer.
His remarks were well received The
aftarnoon was devoted to the singing of
patriotic songs, dancing and the usual
Fourth of July merry making.
If anybody doubts that the
strip Is open for settlement
they need only to have been
present at Beaver on this occasion to have
those doubts removed And if anybody
believes that the country, so far as settled,
is by outlaws and wild adventures, they
need only TO have mingled with the crowd
of ladies, gentlemen and families of child
rem, many of whom are cultured, to have
that doubt also dispelled. Everything
passed off quietly and orderly.
Beaver is becoming quite a respectable
and substantial town and Is rapidly grow
ing.
The day closed with a fine rain. The
season in many places throughout the strip
has been good and crops are coming on
finely. In spots, however. it has been too
dry and crops are poor The people in
the main are hopeful and determined. The
country is being settled in every direction
snd improvements are going forward.

WICHITA AND GALVESTON.

In response to many inquiries the editor
Of the EAGLE desires to say that the new
freight route to the east, to the Islands and
to Europe, by the way of the Gulf. is all
right. The new line being arranged for by
tn e Santa Fe in connection with the Mallory
line of steamships is no myth nor yet an
impractical fancy. The steamers are IN
line one each day, with abundant wharfage
right along side of the Santa Fe tracks,
each vessel supplied with three double
hosting engines, and the ne~ line but
awaits the arrangement of a few minor
details. But this matter will be referred to
in full within few days.

WICHITA'S COMMISSION.

T he idea-the principle, promulgate by
the fathers, that ''all just governments de-
rive their powers from the consent Of the
governed was trampled under foot by the
last boodlefool legislature of Kansas, and
the power was placed in the hands of q
min ority made up of immature boys and
era nks and men who couldn't be elected to
the most insignificant office of trust or
power.
Is there anyone so foolish as to believe
fh at the people will tamely submit to this
Outrage, that the people wont avenge
tn omselves? Just wait until the people
are afforded an opportunity to be heard.

The Kansas City Times in its editorial
columns only incidently refers to Presi-
dent Cleveland's determination not to visit
st. Louis during the G. A. r. reunion.
When some Kansas G.. A. r. posts ex-
pressed a determination not to visit ST.
Louis, the Times with great glee referred
them to Sherman's remarks Hoping the
Times may be able TO apply the extract to
Mr.. Clevelands case and thereby obtain
some degree of consolation, We again refer
that paper TO the words Of the Grand of
Soldier:
eff any of our comrades feel hurt al the
association they can remain at home. but
the sun willrise each morning; the seasons
will follow each other in quick succession
and the world with its myriads of people
will go right along all the same"
